While upper limits for heat stress designed to protect all workers have been recommended by occupational safety institutes for some time, heat stress continues to compromise health and productivity. In our view, this is largely explained by the inability of existing guidelines to consider the inter\u2010individual (age, sex, disease, others) and intra\u2010individual (medication use, fitness, hydration, others) factors that cause extensive variability in physiological tolerance to a given heat stress.<\/p>\n<p>In conditions that do not exceed the recommended limits, this \u2018one size fits all\u2019 approach to heat stress management can lead to reductions in productivity in more heat\u2010tolerant workers, while compromising safety in less heat\u2010tolerant workers who may develop heat\u2010related illness, even in temperate conditions. Herein, we discuss future directions in occupational heat stress management that consider this individual variability.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Full Text Link: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/30791115\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/30791115\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8302 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.famelab.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Line.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1316\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notley SR, Flouris AD, Kenny GP.
